Summary

It was conducted to investigate the effect of ice application to the kaleidoscope and hoku point on the management of cannulization-related pain in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Detailed description

After obtaining the necessary permissions for the research, the patients who were followed up in the hemodialysis unit of X,Y, Z Hospitals were randomly divided into three groups (Kaleidoscope application, ice application and control group). Patients were made to sign written voluntary consent forms by the researchers.After the patients were transferred to the randomized program for the arrival days and TC numbers for the dialysis session, they were assigned to the experimental and control groups. The patients' pain levels were evaluated during 3 dialysis sessions.

Conditions

• Hemodialysis Access

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	KaleidoscopeGroup	The group consists of 34 people. Pain level was measured during 3 dialysis sessions.In order for the patients in the kaleidoscope group to recognize the device and increase their compliance during the procedure, a practice was performed using the device before the AVF cannulation procedure. Kaleidoscope application was performed during cannulation.
OTHER	Ice Application Group	The group consists of 34 people. Pain level was measured during 3 dialysis sessions. Before, during and after AVF cannulation, VAS pain scores will be evaluated after cannulation without any intervention.Ice application application was made with non-melting ice molds to the area where the index finger and thumb of the hand with fistula are joined (HOKU point)
OTHER	Control Group	The group consists of 34 people. Pain level will be measured during 3 dialysis sessions. In the control group, the vital signs of the patients before AVF cannulation will be recorded.
